Rose "Black Baccara": description and features of cultivation

As is known, there is still no black rose in the world. The close-up color of the buds has a grade of "Black Baccara". He was bred in 2004 by a French breeder. According to the description, the rose "Black Baccarat" is significantly different from other hybrid tea varieties. Carefully study these differences before placing this resident in your garden.

Description and characteristics

The tea and hybrid rose "Black Baccarat" is a premium-grade black rose with a faint aroma. The height of the bushes is about 80 cm, and the width is 70 cm. The plant is very compact and neatly looks. Green leaves have a slightly reddish hue. There are very few spikes.

The flowers of the Black Baccarat rose are distinguished by their close to black color, height and glassy bud shape. The maximum preservation of their color contributes to the acidic soil. Before opening the flowers become light shades of burgundy. Their size in diameter is 9-10 cm.The velvet petals have wavy, pointed edges. In the bud, their number reaches 45 pcs. The variety is moderately resistant to diseases and easily tolerates rainy weather. Flowers perfectly keep their shape. The rose is drought resistant, but requires abundant watering. It maintains frosts to - 10 ° C. The minimum temperature at which Black Baccarat can survive during the wintering period is -23 ° C.

Landing

From the description it is easy to understand that the tea hybrid rose "Black Baccarat" is grown in open soil. If the planting is carried out on the territory of the region with a mild winter, planting is done in the fall. If the winter is harsh, seedlings are planted in the spring.

Better for the flower - autumn planting. It is produced from mid-September to early October, so that the bush has time to take root and grow strong before winter.

The penumbra has a favorable effect on the flowering of the plant itself and the color of its flowers, as well as the soil. The bush does not like close proximity to trees. Prefer planting near srednerosly shrub on acidic soil.No wood ash is required before planting. Soil previously digs up to 40 cm in depth. For soil with a heavy composition, additional application of sand and peat may be necessary. Compost or humus also will not be superfluous.

At the bottom of the hole dug under the rose planting lay out the drainage layer. It is sprinkled with soil mixture, after which the seedling is transferred to the hole. Before planting, it is better to hold the future bush in warm water for an hour to straighten and moisten the roots.

Remember that the root system of the plant should be in the soil, and the root neck - not less than 3 cm of the surface level. If the seedling is firmly held in the ground, then you did everything right and after 10-12 days young roots will appear.

This variety, planted in the autumn, will quickly form a strong bush in the spring. The spring seedling will experience a lag in growth and development of about 14 days.

Breeding

Seedlings are usually purchased in nurseries. Reproduction at home by dividing the bush for this variety is undesirable.It can be carried out, but only with five-year bushes, while they are divided in half. Such manipulation will significantly slow down the growth and stop the flowering of the rose.

Cutting is the best breeding for Black Baccarat. This method does not harm the mother bush, and the cuttings will be full-fledged plants after three years.

Cuttings should be cut at an angle of 45 °, either under the kidney from below or above the kidney from above. The recommended length is 15 cm. The maternal plant must be healthy. To cut the workpiece, choose a thick shoot of the current year.

Planting it can be carried out in June-July in the prepared box. A year later, in spring, you can transplant a previously seasoned seedling into the open soil. In winter, the future bush is better to cover.

Care

Caring for the Black Baccarat hybrid tea, as well as planting, is not so simple. Watering, feeding, pruning and winter preparation have certain features.

Watering

Watering is carried out only by separated warm water (heated in the sun) in the early morning or late evening. Cold water is a great stress for the rose.

The frequency of irrigation and the amount of water needed by the bush depend on climatic and soil conditions. The rose of this variety requires abundant irrigation. After the procedure, watering or rain need to loosen the ground. Be careful - do not damage the roots.

Top dressing

Mulching soil on which the bush grows, wood shavings or sawdust, you reduce the evaporation of moisture and slow the growth of weeds. For the first feeding use nitrogen fertilizers to stimulate growth. The period of carrying out - immediately after the removal of the winter shelter.

The second fertilizer procedure is carried out at the beginning of the active growth of shoots. For this it is necessary to use nutritional complexes, which include the basic trace elements. When the rose is in the phase of active budding, it needs fertilizing with a solution of chicken manure or manure. And before wintering (immediately after flowering) it is recommended to add potash fertilizers to the soil.

Pruning

In the summer, during flowering, the rose requires the removal of wilted flowers. Pruning is required in spring and autumn.

In the spring, pruned shoots that have dried up or been damaged. Parts of the stems above the recommended level (fourth kidney) are cut at an angle using a shears.

In the autumn, after a period of flowering, it is necessary to cut off all the "fat" shoots and those that have faded. All the rest is enough to shorten to 40 centimeters. In addition, before wintering need to remove all the leaves. Only after that the plant can be covered with spruce leaves or special material (for example, spunbond).

Diseases and pests

Hybrid tea roses suffer from powdery mildew and sulfuric blotch, but Black Baccara is not susceptible to such diseases, although preventive measures do not hurt. To do this, in the spring the bush is treated with copper sulfate or drugs "Topaz", "Prognoz", "Fundazol", "Hom".

If the irrigation rules were violated, and the water still fell on the aerial part of the rose, the plant could become sick with gray rot or rust. In order to prevent and treat these diseases, the bush is treated with a special mixture: 300 g of copper sulfate + 100 g of Bordeaux mixture per 1 bucket of water. The main pests of the variety are insects such as:

• green rosy aphid;
• spider mite;
• thrips;
• Rosan cicada.

Effective drugs to combat aphids: Alatar, Aktellik.

From the tick, treatment with Inta-Vir and Phosbecid helps.

Tripsov destroy poisons "Vermitek", "Confidor" and "Agravertin."

Against cicadas, it is recommended to use "Zolon", "Ariva" or "Decis".

Application in landscape design

"Black Baccarat", as a shade-tolerant plant, finds its application in landscape design, decorating those parts of the territory where another element of the composition will simply perish. The variety goes well with red and white flowers, as well as undersized perennials with flowers in pastel shades. Since the bushes have an average height, they can be planted in containers or vases to be installed on the porch or porch. But you should not grow a rose of this variety indoors.

The tea hybrid rose "Black Baccara" is always distinguished by its appearance among other plants, wherever it is located.The variety is designed for cutting, but it feels fine in the garden. He is quite demanding to care, but subject to all rules, including planting, the bush will delight you with its flowering for more than one year.
